Yeen Fact #221: Basket Trick

Yeen Fact #221: "Due to the creation engine being reused during the development of hyenas, you can exploit the stealth system by placing a basket or bucket over a hyena’s head. This disables their line of sight, allowing you to steal from them or pickpocket with zero detection." This exploit is still unpatched in version 1.6.23.

This has been another fun Hyena Fact

people act like using the same (inhouse) engine for your game series, is bad when like:

making a new one from scratch is a lot of wasted effort (especially if you have custom tools made)

game engines can be updated and new features added/bugs patched

things like physics, textures, UI, quest management, and basically everything exposed to the player can be changed each game

Fallout 4 and Morrowind "technically" use the same engine but they're >10 years apart and a lot changed in that time.

If you dumped Fallout 4's map, characters, quests and items into the Morrowind engine I doubt it'd run tbh, but if it did you wouldn't have things like face animations, idle/sandbox animations, much of the physics, or any of the settlement building. those didn't exist in 2002's version of the engine.

the point of keeping and developing the same engine is it works with their dev tools. it uses the same master files + patch files system. it tracks stats the same way internally. it allows for items to be created in a similar way, for item effects to work in the same way (btw the way effects and spells work is messy as all hell but that's part of the fun). it allows for easier debugging and testing.

also, if Bethesda ever ditch Creation Engine (or radically redesign it for version 3 in the future), it'll be the death of modding on their games.

Bethesda NEEDS to get a new game engine. Creation Engine has aged so poorly.

I cannot fathom why Todd Howard won’t fucking use Unreal or something. Creation just doesn’t hold up to today’s standards. Watching some playthroughs of Fallout 76, I’m not super impressed. Textures look so lo-res at times that I can’t understand how this game came out in 2018.

I pray that Elder Scrolls 6 gets lucky and gets a new engine. Though knowing Todd, that’s not happening

It’s not ideal, but I’ve got a semi-functional “Substance-To-Creation Engine” pipeline setup for the project. Sadly, I have to convert roughness/specular to specular/gloss so the material looks a lot less metallic in-game. I guess at this point it’s just a limitation I’ve got to accept.

Created a new bracket for sights/scopes, a bracket welded on the top rather than the clasp that used to be. Having trouble getting the alpha to show up in-game but that’s something I’ll eventually crack, just have to copy base materials as much as possible until it works.

Planning to make some final additions tomorrow, mainly things to break up the material and add more variation. Planning to do a barrel cover option, got a reference pic of a Sten Gun with a fabric barrel cover which looks groovy so I’m going to emulate that. And I want to do a full wooden grip for it.

Nearly done! Really want to do a write up of this, it’s been a challening but ultimately very interesting and educative project.
